Hello Brad!I just cant wait any longer to say this: When I first joined cg i joined it because of the trafic and the ratings, now that you have updated the site (cant remember when) people have gone. Freinds or alike have vanished!When will you install user ratings? will it ever happen? I have been...

Hi,I see in my profile that HTML is OFF. I might have chosen that some time ago, somewhere.How can I change it back? :confused: If I want to insert a link in my signature, [/url] does not work, I suppose this is because of that... Even if I got this [url] (http. ...) tag from the vB syntax... Thanks...

Two things...First, check out the front page of dev-archive (www.dev-archive.com ( http://www.dev-archive.com)). At the very bottom, you will see that I added a new section (thanks to one of the internet.com developers). This lists the most active threads on the site. (older threads will not show in...

Hello guys,I have a suggestion: instead of wining about the ratings and stuff, I suggest we work together on a solution. Can somebody post info on how to improve vBulletin, and what knowledge (HTML, Java,...?) we would need to have to achieve this? If only a small percentage of all members would con...

When you select a user name, you will be taken to the user's profile. You can also select the member button near the top of the screen to get to a list of users that can then be selected as well.On the profile screen there is a link to find all posts by a given user (this can include yourself)....

Select the User CP button at the top of the screen (that stands for User Control Panel). Once you've gone to that screen, you will see additional links for editing your profile and for editing other options.Brad!Hello, I want to know how I can modify my information of my account. I have looked...

Today 9/5/2002, the e-mail addresses for submitting articles to the main dev-archive site are bouncing. If you have trouble using the submit@dev-archive (or the webmaster@dev-archive.com) e-mail addresses, then please send me a private message or e-mail me at bjones@jupitermedia.comThanks,Brad! Jon...

There's been since vBulletin is installed, quite a few polls, some of them interesting (some not).Does vBulletin offer the possibility to have access to a thread or a poll across several forums. This could be interesting (even if it may require the user who want this poll to PM a moderator that...

I would like to suggest something different this time for the development of member community in dev-archive. I am thinking about some sort of dev-archive library where in members are allowed to donate books if possible and can be shared by other members if they are in need for a specific time perio...

Hi,<br/>How is that I find a few other sites with exactly the same web interface as that of dev-archive. Is it a kind of standard being followed or all these sites are copies of some other web site.<br/>- Chanti.

Hi,I miss the possibility of going back to the forum from the bottom of a post. At the top of every post, we have something like :dev-archive Forums > dev-archive Community > FeedbackNow when you are reading a thread, you usually scroll down to the bottom. But then to get back to the forum,...

I suggest that the Private Messages Screen / Menu is placed at a clear spot and be visible in all forums :(

There should be something that tells whether we are logged on or not.

Well, I am a newbie here and found Junior Member, Member and Administrator titles already. :cool: Let me know when a Junior member becomes member and how can a member be Administrator? Is there no intermediate titles there -- I guess there are. then let me also know about them.I couldnot find the an...

In my control panel, I've set private messaging to pop up a window alerting me of new messages. Trouble is that this is not working :/My settings are the following :Enable Private Messaging? yes Send you an email when you receive a Private Message? no Pop up a box when you receive a Privat...

Brad,it would be nice to have a list of the Top 10 Article submitters and ofcourse the views for an article and maybe we could also rate the articles. This would be nice, cause sometimes their are guys, which havent read the article, but writting bad comments about that. Only registered memebers sho...

It would be very useful to have a facility whereby the original poster in a thread could indicate that he has an answer/solution.I know I often only read unanswered threads. I also post responses on threads that don't entirely solve the problem. I don't think I am unique in either aspect,...

I would like to suggest that code sections enclosed by '[ code ][ /code ]' are not automatically gets parsed to replace abbreviations into smilies...The following is one example...void CDialog::DoModal()Of course you can get around by writingvoid CDialog :: DoModal()but I do not like this...

This is probably something the vBulletin people could improve their software with but if it is possible to implement this for the dev-archive web site without modification of the vBulletin software then that would be good.These forums are so international that I am sure many of us would like to know...

I just found another problem while parsing the [ code ] [ /code ] section. It seems that backslashes in combination with a single quotation mark gets parsed to nothing...Now there should be a backslash: '\'Over here there should be two: '\\'As you can see one gets 'ripped�...

Hi All,I am really wondering why these strange things happening to me. I don't know about others.I registered in May'2000 and posted lot's of posts. But some time back dev-archive site changed lot's of things including appearence. At that time I lost my previous posts. Then I wro...

I've just realized, looking at some other's posts that there is a php tag where all the text is formatted and colored to help visualize the php code. My question would be: Would it also be possible to add a tag that could highlight the text using the C++ syntax? This could even open the d...

I wish the vBull software did not allow animated icons for users. They are annoying and are unnecessary for a technical forum such as this.

I think there should be forum for SDK programming regardlous of language. Most questions and answers will use C++ but that should not be a requirement.<br/>I apologize if this has already been suggested.

I apologize if this has already been suggested.I think that the current C++ (Non Visual C++ Issues) forum is too general. I think there should be a forum that is clearly defined to be for the C and C++ languages only. There are many language questions asked in the VC forum that could be asked in a l...

This is pretty annoying, since every page where this ad appears is squashed.

Currently LogOut is avaialable only in the main dev-archive forum. It would be user friendly if the LogOut and Login for every fourum and at top right.<br/>Narayana Murty.

Some times user(programmer, who is using this site) may post some threads and those are not necessary to maintain. User may feel to delete that. But it is not possible, as these posts are maintained by Moderators and Site Manager.Would it sense that user can have right to delete his own posts?Naray...

Wouldn't it be fun if the "get new mail" messages applied only to the subscribed thread? This way I wouldn't get Visual Basic messages since I'm more of a C++ kinda person and vice-versa.<br/>No?

See the attachment, this is an example of a view in the "Who's online" page. It state that a "guest" is voting on a poll. It is not the first time I see that, sometimes there is guest that are editing a post or sending privates messages. I would like to know what is that. Is that a kind of erro...

Something went wrong with this thread I started.This is what I was saying in the first post (that doesn't show up):From time to time CG is really slow - don't know why, but it seems to be slow for all users. When this happens many users who try to submit a new thread get no response from t...

Status of dev-archive...As everyone knows, the dev-archive discussion forums were updated a few months back. This has been met with much praise and --as with any change-- a bit of snarling. Overall, the forums are operating much better and with more stability. We also have the ability to make mor...

Is this the right place for this question?I am trying to search individual forums ( for example C++ Programming) for the key words "map" AND "memory mapped file".The search always times out circa item 392.Can I override this timeout? If so how?Is there another way to do this?Thanks for any help....

I was asked about the dev-archive book. Many of you have received e-mails in regard to this book being put together. Someone just asked me the status of the book in a PM. To let everyone know:The book is still being assembled and is still planned to happen. The "in stores" date just slipped a littl...

In the main dev-archive Forums display you can see how many private messages you have at the bottom of the page. It would be nice to be able to see them on each page in the forums (except for the reply or post pages). I don't want the PM's poping up while I'm working so I turn that op...

This is feedback that might help the web site and other vBulletin customers but it won't help me much. The problem is that I often cause a superfluous search and I assume that wastes processor time for the web site host(s).I am someone that is obsessive about keeping my browser history clean. I...

Every dev-archive article has an author and the template specifies that an email address for the author be provided. We all know that email addresses are not always permanent. I assume there is a procedure for revising the email addresses but I think another solution is that a link to the author...

I think dev-archive should add some more functionality to this forum software.1]There should be option in index to know whether the poster got the answer.2]Some kind of rating for person who answered the question.3]One more Forum topic on Systems Programming just like VC++ programming.4]Way to go di...

Finally the word has been spread by our very own Brad Jones. VB isn't about programming really, it's just marginally "programming related" ;)<br/>This finally puts things in perspective :p

What do you think of a forum discussing the matters involved with programming on the server side of matters. Do you have it here under a different moniker? Or is it hiding in with Client side scripting?I am interested in doodling with JSP and Servlets--have such non-Microsoft topics no place in this...

I think rating of answers can be useful for getting an indication that an answer has helped and for providing a mechanism for helping beginnnes know when an answer is a good one. I think that ratings can also be a disadvntage. I can think of two disadvntages: arguments are likely to occur over who&#...

Hi!<br/>I'm wondering what it needs to become a junior-member, member, senior-member, elite-member,...<br/>I'm trying to understand a rule, but can't figure it out.<br/>So: what is behind that?<br/>Thanks!<br/>Marc

I notice most of the 'hot threads' on dev-archive homepage are Chitchat threads, have nothing to do with programming.I hope dev-archive can be more selective in its hot threads. In other words, please exclude general discussion threads from the hot threads list.btw, I was attracted to and...

I use the dev-archive site extensively and am very grateful it exists. I have a suggestion for making the search more useful.There is no way to limit the search by type of content. In particular, some searches return many book reviews. If you are looking for a book to buy, that is great. If you are...

When I recieve a message from dev-archive telling me that a new comment has been added to my article, the sender address is empty.This is unfortunate, since this will make my mail-filter classify it directly as junk-mail. And there is no way to override this behaviour, since it can only deal with e...

I propose a category called "Visual C++ Operating System Inconsitencies." As you probably know, Visual Studio .NET does not operate under Windows ME, 98, or 95. Thus, you are forced to develop your VC++ progam under Windows XP, NT or 2000. What could be more irritating than to develop your program...

This member kamilya2 is spamming almost every forum with his yoga thread. Please do something about it.

Hi Brad,<br/>Can you change the visited threads to a different colour?<br/>Now they are in deep blue colour, regardless that I have read some of them.<br/>Please look into it.<br/>Thanks.

There's a little bug in that, it should check if the url ends with . or , and if that is the case, it should ignore them.<br/>eg.<br/>Try visiting www.dev-archive.com, they have a lot of articles.<br/>or<br/>The official MSDN website is http://msdn.microsoft.com.
